6 (or More) Women Who Should Step Up Their Style in 2012

It's 2012 now and the following women are being called out for terrible fashion sense. These six unstylish culprits have gone on too long without knowing how to put some things together. For goodness sake, they have the money to hire a stylist, so Krystal (@IamKrystalH) and I (@missjournalism) are not letting these women off easy! First up...

Fantasia Barrino- Before her baby bump began to show, she didn't wear clothing that complimented her body type. From cheetah print to ensembles that were too short or too tight, she was tip-toeing in the worst direction: tacky.

She should consult with a stylist (and fast!) when she steps back out into the public eye. This year, we just want to see a conservatively dressed mommy toting around her baby boy.Keri Hilson- Keri has been known to have good style from time to time, but with her beauty, it should be great all the time! A self-proclaimed tomboy, she takes the casual and comfy route often, but we like to see a little more classic glam on this one.

In 2012, she needs to make it a point to give us consistent style!Lindsay Lohan- Being in an out of the court house you would think that she would've worn something cute to be photographed in, but that wasn't the case at all -- ripped shorts and a white long sleeve shirt do not count as style. For 2012, let's hope she color coordinates and wears the right outfits to the respected events.

Savannah Brinson- That basketball wife life might break the fashion bank, but that's what it takes to be courtside every night. The cameras are watching the soon-to-be Mrs. James, and being the first lady to one of the team's leading players means nailing fashion and keeping it cute.

In 2012, we just want her to raise the bar a bit more. Less motherly and more va-va-voom! No worries, her "circle"--Adrienne Bosh and Gabrielle Union--are there to guide her!Fergie- You can't be the first and only lady of the Black Eyed Peas wearing some of the pieces she has stepped out on the red carpet wearing.

For the New Year, we hope she says goodbye to feathers and sequins and hello to color blocking, sheers and lace!The ladies of Jersey Shore- Slut wear is out and a bit more conservative wear is in. Trust us, ladies! You can still have your short dresses and colorful 'fits, just make them more public appropriate and less, well, slutty!

We see lace and plunging necklines in your futures, so try it in the correct size!

SZA called for peace and understanding at Billboard's Women In Music event Thursday (Dec. 6).

During her speech for the Rule Breaker award, singer-songwriter recalled today's climate, asking her peers and those watching at home for a little bit of peace.

"I'm sorry for the state of the world honestly, for everybody in this room and I pray that all of us just get through it a little bit easier and just try not to lash out at each other," she said.

The recurring theme of unity among women was also heard on the carpet from artists like Tierra Whack. In addition to her message of love, the "Broken Clocks" singer also thanked her TDE family for rocking with her creative process.

"I'm just so thankful for everybody having patience with me, " she said. Shouting out the key members of her family in attendance, the TDE affiliate gave praise to her mother, father, and grandma. In this brief speech centered around the artist's growth Solána Imani Rowe, known more commonly as her stage name, Rowe everyone for their trust in her.

"I'm grateful for everybody taking the time to have the patience to watch someone grow, it is painful and sometimes exciting but mostly boring. And I am thankful for Top (Top Dawg Entertainment's Anthony Tiffith) for not dropping me from that label. For Peter, who I change my ideas every day and he be like okay I like this," she continued.

Thanking the likes of musical powerhouses like Alicia Keys and Whack, "The Weekend" singer offered her appreciation and condolences to Ariana Grande.

As November comes to a close, many publications will be crafting their year-end lists for all things pop culture. Forbes released a ranking of the world's highest-paid women in music on Monday (Nov. 19), with Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Rihanna holding it down for women of color.

Beyoncé comes in at No. 3 on the list with an earning of $60 million as she made most of her money through her historical Coachella performance, the joint album with husband JAY-Z, Everything is Love, and the Carters' On The Run II Tour in support of its release.

Jennifer Lopez made No. 6 for earnings tallying of over $47 million thanks to her lucrative Las Vegas residency, endorsements, and shows including World of Dance where she serves as a judge.

Rihanna follows behind the "Love Don't Cost A Thing" diva at No. 7 with earnings of over $37.5 million. Although she hasn't toured since 2016—thanks to her cosmetics and lingerie lines, Fenty Beauty and Savage Lingerie—the Bajan pop star has been keeping herself busy.

Forbes' annual list (which factors in pretax earnings from June 1, 2017, through June 1, 2018) has placed Katy Perry at the top with over $83 million in profits due to her gig as an American Idol judge and her 80-date Witness: The Tour that brought in an estimated $1 million per night.

Kelly Rowland has it all and isn't afraid to brag about it on her new single, "Kelly."

Released Thursday (Nov. 22), the singer goes the clubby, confident route while rightfully dropping her attributes like her relationship with God, smoldering looks (a.k.a the drip) among other things. With "Kelly" being the first single since her 2013's Talk a Good Game, the singer comes out swinging, reminding everyone of her power in the game.

The mother of one has promised that her new tunes will be edgier and most honest than her past work that included vulnerable tracks like "Dirty Laundry" and massive hits like "Motivation" and "Commander." Speaking with Vogue over the summer, Ms. Kelly disclosed a few details behind the album.

“It’s about love, loss, and gain and whether it’s professional or with family or whatever, it’s just honest," she said. "I had no choice but to be honest and authentic with this record: it’s about friendship and marriage.”

She also explained a drop in confidence caused her hiatus. “I was thinking about pulling back from recording, but I couldn’t help myself: I still wanted to record. I still felt like I was missing something. The third year just came and left so fast. The fourth year I said: ‘I have to get to work’ and now I’m ready to release some music! I felt like I wasted so much time, and it was my husband who actually called me out on it. He said: ‘Babe, as great as those records were, I think you were nervous, you got gun-shy’, and when he said that it was like boom, a gong went off.”

Glad to have you back, Ms. Kelly. Listen to the eponymous record up top.
